Introduction
Patrick
My guest today is Peter Buffett. Peter is a musician, composer, author and philanthropist. He's an Emmy Award winner, New York Times bestselling author and co-chair of the NoVo Foundation. We discuss music, community, philanthropy, and finding one's note in life. This is a very different episode, much more about life in general with no business or investing discussed. Like his father, Warren, Peter has the gene for phrasing ideas in memorable ways. And I think you'll find many great phrases in this chat that will stick with you. I've been thinking about Peter's idea of making sure those in your life are safe, seen and celebrated ever since our chat. Please enjoy our conversation.

I might keep that in. That's pretty funny. So Peter, I'm really appreciative of the time today. And since we're sitting in Kingston, a place that you've deliberately chosen, I'm always interested by how people end up where they end up and what they like about the place. So I thought we'd maybe actually start with the place that we're sitting. What is it about Kingston that led you to ultimately plant your roots here? And we'll use that to trace backwards in time.
